Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice Chapter 957 957: Under the moonlight

Following their shared meal, the members of the Artemis Familia, their appetites thoroughly satisfied by Eiji's cooking, found themselves unable to resist his charm.

Their admiration, however, manifested in a peculiar way.

And Eiji found he rather liked it.

"Eiji-sama, we find ourselves without a spare tent... If you wouldn't mind terribly, you could share a tent with Artemis-sama!"

"Artemis-sama's tent is considerably larger than ours!"

"I'm sure Artemis-sama wouldn't object, would she!?"

Lante, among them, possessed the most potent aura of a matchmaker, practically making arrangements to sell off her goddess.

Artemis was, naturally, dumbfounded. "You want Eiji and I to sleep together? Absolutely not!"

"But wouldn't Artemis have the heart to let Eiji-sama sleep outside in the cold?" Lante inquired.

"That isn't precisely my meaning, I..." Artemis cast a guilty glance at Eiji, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

Lante pressed on, continuing to coax her goddess.

"Especially after he saved us by defeating Antares?"

"I..."

"And considering Eiji-sama also prepared such delicious food for us?"

"Ugh... Very well. We... we shall share a tent."

[Hooray!]

Eiji cheered inwardly, though his expression remained serene as Artemis fixed him with a narrowed gaze.

Artemis bit her lip, her thoughts directed at him: Eiji, what a two-faced man!

Yet, she harbored no actual animosity, only a sense of embarrassment. As the Virgin Goddess, she found herself compelled to share sleeping quarters with a man due to her familia members' insistence.

She couldn't very well refuse, especially as Eiji was her benefactor. Had it not been for him, she would have met the same fate as Antares described in the so-called 'original work'.

Still, a question lingered: what if Eiji acted upon her while they slept?

Artemis was uncertain of her own ability to resist at that moment!

"I don't mind," Eiji stated. His personal principle was not to turn away good fortune when it presented itself.

Only a truly herbivorous protagonist would refuse to sleep with a beautiful woman, let alone a goddess like Artemis.

Jie jie jie.

[Hehehe.]

Even Leme let out a laugh that sounded undeniably depraved.

Miss System: "....."

She questioned whether she had, all this time, been affiliated with the protagonist or the villain.

Was it perhaps too late to abandon this vessel? Just kidding, of course.

She considered herself the only genuinely normal person present.

"I shall take a shower first."

Without awaiting any replies, Artemis promptly turned and walked in a specific direction, her steps appearing somewhat hurried.

Eiji offered a slight smile, observing Artemis's retreating figure vanish into the darkness before turning his attention back to Lante and the other women.

"Incidentally, were any of you injured during the recent battle? Sleeping with wounds can be quite uncomfortable; I can tend to them with my magic."

Upon hearing this, Lante and the other Artemis Familia members genuinely felt Eiji was a perfect match for their goddess.

Not only was he strikingly handsome and powerful, but he also possessed a remarkably kind heart.

"Eiji-sama, my right hand sustains a slight injury."

"My toenail is bleeding, Eiji-sama."

"Eiji-sama, my stomach was actually grazed while I was evading Antares's attack."

"Me too, Eiji-sama! I..."

All of them had sustained minor injuries from the preceding conflict. Eiji instructed them to form a line so he could heal them individually.

Although he possessed the ability to cast healing magic over a broad area, he deliberately refrained from doing so.

Why, you ask?

There is a saying that things obtained too easily may not be as deeply appreciated.

Thus, he chose to make the process slightly more elaborate.

First was Rethusa; the woman with a tomboyish appearance was surprisingly nervous standing directly before Eiji. She couldn't help but steal shy glances at his exceedingly handsome face as she informed him of a slight pain in her knee.

"Does it hurt?" Eiji inquired, despite knowing the answer.

"S-slightly, Eiji-sama," Rethusa stammered.

"Allow me to heal you."

Eiji knelt down and gently assisted the woman in removing the bandages covering her wound. He then extended a hand enveloped in a golden-green luminescence. Employing a high-level healing magic, Rethusa's injuries began to mend at a rate clearly visible to the eye.

Witnessing this, Lante and the others let out exclamations, once again awestruck by his remarkable abilities.

"It is done."

"Thank you, Eiji-sama."

Rethusa expressed her gratitude to him, her heart pounding erratically. In her mind, she offered an apology to her goddess, as she felt herself falling for Eiji!

If she and her goddess were to end up together, she wouldn't mind dedicating her body to him however he desired.

"Next."

Eiji, aware of Rethusa's inner turmoil, chose to feign ignorance. The same applied to Lante and the remaining members of the Artemis Familia; they were all secretly harboring feelings for him.

This was advantageous.

Winning over these women was equivalent to securing their complete support in his pursuit of Artemis.

Artemis could never have imagined that, while she was occupied with bathing, Eiji had already captured the hearts of every single member of her familia.

Now, only she remained.

She was like the sole sheep now being eyed by a wolf nearby. Ahem, escape seemed impossible.

Beneath the moon's glow, her nude form was half-submerged in the river. With flowing blue hair, pale skin, a delicate frame, and a chest perfectly proportioned, Artemis truly resembled a bathing Goddess.

The sight was breathtakingly beautiful.

What man wouldn't desire her?

A splash echoed, as if someone had entered the water. Artemis froze, turning her head while shielding her body.

"Who is there!?"

Her gaze fixed intently on a nearby boulder.

"Huh? That voice... Artemis?" A familiar yet innocent voice called out. It was Eiji, his head appearing from behind the rock.

Artemis was taken aback, particularly by his bare upper body. His sculpted physique, like a work of art, was fully visible. "Eiji? What, what are you doing here!? You, are you...!"

Her cheeks instantly flushed, suspecting Eiji was there to spy on her bath.

However, Eiji quickly interjected, "Spying on you? No, no, don't misunderstand. I'm also taking a bath."

"You're also bathing? But why here!?"

Artemis averted her eyes, unable to bear looking at a naked man. Moreover, Eiji's physique was so striking that she found herself swallowing involuntarily.

As a Virgin Goddess, her mind began to wander, conjuring illicit thoughts that sent her into a panic.

"Blame Lante. She told me if I wanted to bathe, I should come this way."

Eiji wasn't entirely untruthful, but he omitted Lante's clear intention of orchestrating a meeting between him and the Goddess during their baths.

That woman possessed a remarkable talent for playing matchmaker.

Thanks to her, he could also seize this moment to steal a gasp-inducing glance at Artemis's nude beauty.

He had to admit; much like Hephaestus, the Artemis before him surpassed even her anime portrayal.

"Lante!" Artemis exclaimed, calling out the first mate of her familia in vexation. Then, she noticed where Eiji's gaze was directed, her face growing hotter. "Eiji, where are you looking!? You pervert! Turn around quickly and get back behind the boulder!"

"Oh, my apologies. You are simply too beautiful, Artemis. A man like myself finds it difficult to resist looking at you right now," Eiji replied, not in a hurry to comply.

"You...!"

Just as Artemis's embarrassment reached its zenith, Eiji swiftly turned his head away and retreated behind the boulder before she could erupt in anger.

A seasoned individual knows the opportune moment to advance and when to withdraw.

Love can be likened to a game of tug-of-war. Pull too forcefully, and you risk causing the other person to stumble and fall, earning their resentment.

But apply just the right amount of strength, and you can embrace them. With a bit of luck, a kiss might follow. At that point, she might blush but accept your desire to share her bed.

[Your analogy is rather suggestive, Host.]

'Cease your complaints, Miss System.'

[Hmph!]

The woman huffed, too weary to point out that it wasn't just his analogy, but the Host himself, indulging in depravity at this very moment.

To be precise, Eiji was not alone in his bath. Behind the boulder where he stood, a stunning silver-haired woman with tanned skin was pressed close against his body.

She eagerly massaged his muscles, her tongue tracing his chest, and her hand caressing his member.

A playful glint shone in her golden eyes, and her smile was undeniably alluring.

Who could she be?

It was Leme! One of his golden fingers, she had emerged from his mental realm to attend to him in her mature form.

It had been a considerable time since she had last performed such duties.

"Hehe, My King... Your erection is quite substantial. Shall I ensure it stays warm so it doesn't get cold?"

She communicated this via telepathy, lest Artemis overhear her voice.

"Proceed, Leme. But are you certain you can remain silent?"

"You can easily silence Leme's mouth with your hand, my King."

Like her King, Leme was a woman of refinement.

She understood his desires implicitly. Eiji didn't hesitate, pressing her curvaceous form against the nearby boulder, and then...

"Hnnn~!"

Perceiving her King's penis entering her anus rather than her vagina, Leme showed no surprise. She merely moaned softly as her king's hand covered her mouth.

Eiji moved his hips rhythmically, nibbling at Leme's pointed ears while simultaneously caressing her ample bosom.

*Slap! Slap! Slap!*

Despite the percussive sounds of flesh on flesh generated by his movements, he had covertly employed the Law of Vibration to ensure Artemis remained unaware of their activities.

Leme rolled her eyes heavenward, her expression one of pure ecstasy as she licked her King's palm. She reveled in the sensation of her King possessing her, finding immense pleasure and arousal.

"Eiji, why are you being so quiet?" Artemis inquired, her voice laced with curiosity.

Eiji remained silent, his hips continuing their rhythmic movement as he engaged Leme with intense passion.

"I sensed you were upset, Artemis. Therefore, I didn't wish to further provoke your anger."

One of the key stratagems of an experienced lover, in such delicate moments, is to feign concern about potentially offending the woman in question.

When this tactic is employed...

It often elicits a response from the woman, much like Artemis, who might feel a pang of guilt and quickly reassure, "I'm not angry. I'm simply feeling a bit shy, as this is my first time bathing with a man. You've... you've seen me naked as well..."

"You've also witnessed my nakedness. Isn't that a fair exchange, Artemis?" Eiji countered with a hint of audacity.

"???" A series of question marks seemed to hover above Artemis's head.

Though Eiji's words held a veneer of logic, the notion of fairness struck her as quite misplaced!

"No, that's hardly fair!" she protested. "Men and women are not the same. Unlike women, many men feel no shame in displaying their bare torsos."

"Oh, does that imply Artemis frequently encounters half-naked men?" Eiji playfully taunted her.

Simultaneously, he reached his climax within Leme's embrace, intensifying his thrusts.

Leme cried out, her inner thoughts a whirlwind of sensation, akin to a delighted animal.

"Oh, certainly not! I've only glimpsed a few such individuals. For instance, adventurers; a number of them are rather fond of showcasing their physiques... And I swiftly avert my gaze whenever I happen upon them by chance!"

Artemis hastily explained, seemingly anxious to dispel any potential misunderstanding on Eiji's part.

The corners of Eiji's mouth curved upwards further. "I understand. I am pleased."

"Pleased about what?" Artemis asked, perplexed, as she moved towards the boulder, positioning herself beside Eiji.

As the proximity between them diminished, a flush crept back onto her face.

"You, at the very least, gazed at my bare upper body for several seconds before looking away, Artemis. I even noticed you swallow."

"Wha–!?"

Artemis couldn't suppress a startled cry, much like someone caught in a compromising situation, their reaction laid bare.

How mortifying!

"Th-that's...! Eiji, please don't misunderstand! It wasn't as if I found what I saw appealing!"

Eiji let out a soft chuckle, which Artemis detected and responded to with a pout. Yet, she found herself secretly relishing their exchange.

Eiji, too, felt a sense of enjoyment, as his own arousal surged, his erection hardening and driving Leme into a frenzy.

"Ahh! Ahh! Our King! You certainly know how to play... Ohh! Toying with other women while deep inside Leme's core!"

"You absolute scoundrel... Ahem, you truly are the King of Harem! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh~!"

Had Leme just called him a scoundrel? No, he must have misheard.

Eiji lifted one of Leme's legs, continuing his rhythmic assault in that position. The women observing the intimate scene via the group chat livestream remained largely silent.

However, a significant number were visibly stirred by the sight of their man's member entering and exiting Leme's delicate rear.

Eriri, in particular, found herself deeply affected. Since becoming Eiji's woman, her creative wellspring for drawing had overflowed, leading to the production of numerous NTR-themed doujins.

"I understand. I won't misunderstand."

"You..."

Artemis was taken aback, sensing that Eiji perceived her true feelings. Wait, she genuinely hadn't found what she saw appealing, had she?

The Goddess of the Hunt exhibited a distinctly tsundere disposition.

She quickly steered the conversation to a new topic. "Regarding my debt of gratitude... Eiji, is there anything you desire? After all... you rescued me and my family members, who likely wouldn't have survived Antares' pursuit. So long as it doesn't transgress my principles, I am willing to do anything for you."

"I haven't given it much thought for now. There's no need to rush, Artemis."

Eiji, however, had already formulated a plan, but he intended to cultivate a more positive disposition from Artemis first.

Artemis was uncertain whether she should feel relieved or disappointed that Eiji wasn't requesting anything improper from her.

At least, not for the present moment.

Was it perhaps because he already had Demeter and the other women in his life?

A flicker of irritation surfaced within her. "I'm finished here. I shall depart."

"Very well."

Eiji wished to continue his intimate 'bathing' session with Leme, exploring various positions. Once Artemis had moved away, Leme's ecstatic moans became clearly audible throughout the area.

"Ohh! Ohh! Our King~!"

"Leme, I cherish you."

"Hnnng~! Our King, Leme loves you too~!"

As her king lifted and pounded her, Leme displayed the legendary ahegao expression. Her king climaxed multiple times within her, surpassing even the protagonist of the original work, 'Magika no Kenshi'—whose name escapes me, but he lacked the capacity to satisfy Leme to the same degree as Eiji.

Indeed, when compared to her previous partners, Leme found herself solely devoted to Eiji, content to become...
